#C27653 Hello friends, I am a 43-year-old male. First of all, I pray for all of you—may no sorrow ever enter your lives, may you all always remain happy and safe, and may you be blessed with a long life. I used to work in the hotel industry and worked there for about 20 years. My journey went from a monthly salary of ₹3,000 to ₹25,000. I have a 10-year-old daughter, and my father lives with me; he is a patient with diabetes and high blood pressure. My wife is incredibly supportive; she has never ignored me during my financial struggles and never demands anything. Whatever I earned went into my father's medical expenses, running the household, and paying my daughter's school fees. There were never any savings, and that is how 20 years passed by. However, suddenly 6 months ago, I lost my job. The owner started level-ing unnecessary, false allegations against me and insulting me. Consequently, I was forced to leave. I searched for another job, but I couldn't find a proper one anywhere. Our financial situation became terrible, and running the household became incredibly difficult. Then, someone suggested that I take out a loan to do trading, claiming I could easily earn ₹1,000 daily. So, I took a loan of ₹3 Lakhs and started trading, even though I had absolutely no experience. I followed WhatsApp and Telegram channels, and within 3 months, the entire ₹3 Lakhs was wiped out. Now, I am so deeply worried and anxious that I cannot share this with anyone. On one side are the monthly EMIs, and on the other are the household expenses and my father's medical bills. Life has reached a point where I feel like I can't even breathe properly. I cannot sleep at night, and I just sit alone and cry. I managed to get a job at a petrol pump, but within a month, I suffered a loss of ₹12,000 there because people made payments using fake UPI apps and left without me realizing it. Overall, I have fallen into severe depression and anxiety. My small, happy world has been ruined. I request all of you to please never do trading—it causes immense losses. Please pray for me, and if possible, please help me and give me some good advice on what I should do next. How do I handle my family and myself? Whatever has happened is deeply painful. In today's era of high inflation, how can people like me survive? I am completely broken now. pray for me 🙏🏻

Start a business , nowadays even people who are well educated and from good families , run food stalls , put a food stall at lunch time in front of offices . Everyone likes to eat home cooked meal , get it it prepared at home and sell during lunch hours , start with a simple meal of dal chawal and keep the rates nominal , gradually increase the menu . Hope you get out of this financial difficulty soon
Very small paani poori shop people are earning so much and you can come out with in 1year. Go for it and establish a business with small amount
You can look for basic job opportunities on freelance platforms. Some platforms are paying for videos of you doing household chores (for AI training), for example. You can also do content creation, etc. And this is the time to test your relatives and best friends: take a loan from them and use that money wisely to start a small business like a food stall/outlet as you already have experience in the hotel industry.
You have lost close to 4 lacs.. you have a supportive wife.. being a house husband and taking over house responsibilities is not an insult.. take a break.. what would we do if we are all In a earthquake lose everything.. but we are alive? You lost money agreed.. please start over..
If you dont consider as inferior job u can be delivery man to so many franchise..You can earn around 30k per month...no investment..Less hours only
Be brave
Bro, start a cloud kitchen, You can start a stall or Food truck whatever suits you
God gave you a chance and you got 3lakhs rupees but at the end you went to "how to make money quickly" and you felt in the trap of earning 1000 per day (I am sure you calculated 1000 * 30 = 30000, more than my last job salary)... in place of wasting that money you could have used to set up a small business and restart your life
People be aware. This looks a fake sharing.
